Nancy Park
Ranch homes as the center piece with other complimenting styles
In Nancy Park, deciduous trees line the streets, while residents congregate in shared park spaces that add to the sense of community. Prospective homeowners can choose between a selection of single-family ranch homes, each offering its own sense of color and design. “This community boasts an array of housing options,” says Gartrelle. “It truly caters to very lifestyle.” Ranch homes may dominate the landscape, but there are a few condos, bungalows, split-levels and raised ranch homes throughout the neighborhood as well. Most homes range between $149,000 and $260,000, but condos can start around $80,000 and reach around $160,000 for a lakeside view. The median price for homes in the neighborhood is $163,000, with many having two to four bedrooms.

Local markets and unassuming diners
Ypsilanti Food Co-Op, two and a half miles to the north, has vegan and organic snacks in addition to household self-care products. Residents can also head a mile north for La Espiga Dorada Market which features Hispanic bakery favorites like freshly prepared churros. Down the street from the market is Big Sky Diner, open from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. and is known for its traditional diner fare such as burgers, fries and a classic selection of breakfast entrees. Howard’s Hoagies is about two miles to the east, and is known for its low-key vibe, burgers and steak hoagies.

Annual beer festivals and live music through the week
Ypsilanti hosts their own mix of more locally focused activities, such as the Michigan Summer Beer Festival in July. Since 1999, Ypsilanti has hosted this event and features local beers and live music from a variety of Michigan bands. Ypsilanti has a variety of festivals throughout the year, some of which are annual events, like the previously mentioned beer festival, and some are more everyday, such as live music at Ziggy’s Tuesday through Saturday.

Robotic classes in Ypsi
Nancy Park students can begin at Perry Early Learning Center, which earns a B-minus from Niche, for prekindergarten through first grade before attending Erickson Elementary School for first through fifth grade. Erickson Elementary receives a C-minus from Niche. Ypsilanti Middle School, for sixth through eighth graders, receives the same grade. At Ypsilanti Community High School, students can participate in the STEMM Middle College program where students can receive technical certifications such as Certified Nurse Assistant, aviation technology and machine tool technology. While Ypsilanti Community High School does not have a Niche rating, STEMM Middle College receives a B.

Fish on Ford Lake and play soccer at two parks
Given Nancy Park’s location along Ford Lake, homeowners can spend time on the water kayaking or canoeing. The lakefront space at Loonfeather Park provides another way to take in the great outdoors, as locals fish on Ford Lake or explore the park’s playground. Parking at the park is $3, and swimming or wading from the shores of the lake is not allowed. “Picture-perfect lake views greet residents every morning,” says Gartrelle. Located along the southwestern border, the neighborhood’s namesake Nancy Park has open green space for frisbee, a soccer field for practice on and a playground for children to enjoy.

Two bus lines north and south with bike lanes
The Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority has two bus lines through Nancy Park, Route 68 along the southern border of Grove Road and Route 45 on Service Drive. Grove Road has a bike lane as well. Rides are exact change only and cost $1.50 for a single ride, $3 for a day pass or $45 for a 30-day flex pass. Interstate 94, which covers the states between Michigan and Montana, serves as the neighborhood’s northern-most border.
